[Bug 18574] Re: /etc/environment lacks man page.

[Stéphane Aulery]

The valid page is environ.7, which exists. LANGUAGE variable is not
described by environ.7, but it’s an other problem treated in the bug :
#311558.

Title:
  /etc/environment lacks man page.

Status in manpages package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  There's no environment(5) man page.  No package seems to own it.

      $ dpkg -S /etc/environment
      dpkg: /etc/environment not found.
      $ cat /etc/environment
      LANGUAGE="en_GB:en"
      LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
      $

  Without a man page, it's unclear what purpose it has, e.g. at what times
  is it read, and what format it has, e.g. are comments allowed, what
  about quoting, etc.
